MONDAY MORNING

Had a good weekend. Got up Saturday and went up to NYC to see Sarah. All I really wanted to do is stay in bed. She said I could have called her and said I was to tired to come up. I couldn't do that not after the week she had. The guy she had been dating decided he didn't want to anymore - right out of left field. And right before her birthday - good timing on his part. What is wrong with him - does he not know he will not meet anyone better than my daughter!! But we had a good day and I always love spending time with my favorite daughter. She looks a little skinny to me but that might be a Mom thing.

Then on Sunday went to a baby shower and then met some friends. Ended up not getting home until after 7. But had a good day. Did some stuff around the house and then stitched. Made myself go to bed at 11:30 because 6:30 comes early in the morning. I just feel so relaxed when I stitch, I lose track of time. Plus I have to finish the birth sampler I doing which is for the baby shower I went on Sunday. Couldn't start early, because she didn't find out what it was before hand.

WHO KNEW

As most people know, I bought my house at the end of August. And being that I had been married for the past 20+ years, I think I've done pretty good getting everything done and taking care of things. I got car insurance, signed up for cable/phone/tv, electric, trash....but who knew they actually want you to pay for water - LOL.

I've had a well for the past 21 years and septic. And what I got for AQUA (the water company) looked like junk mail. Come on now, it's addressed to OCCUPANT. Well, I decided to open the one I got this week and it's a 10 shut off notice!! LOL So, now I have to send the my settlement papers, drivers license and phone number TODAY to get this straightened out.

How much water does one person use????

2008

Haven't blogged in a while - over a month. Here's the highlights:
had a great Christmas.
Jim and Mary got me a CD player
Sarah got me a digital frame
had a great new years
made resolutions.
OK, that's it. Still working on taking my tree down - I don't light it up any more but it's still sitting in my living room. This weekend is pretty well shot - going up to NYC to see Sarah on Saturday. She is 25 on the 25th this year and we are going to spend the day together. Then on Sunday I have a baby shower. But I should be able to start taking the ornaments off.

I've brought some yarn and I've started a baby afghan. I brought yarn for another baby afghan and one for an afghan for my bed. Not enough time in the day to do all I want to do.

I'm still cross stitching and have enough of that stuff to last a life time. And I keep buying more. I see something and I have to have it. I'm working on a baby birth sampler now. Which is for the shower on Sunday. She's definitely getting it with needle and thread in it - I'm not even close to being done.

Jim and Mary brought a house and moved in over new years weekend. It is a cute little twin and I'm so happy and proud of them. They are working at growing their photography business.

Sarah is still in NYC and I'm sure she'll be taking over the town one day. She is a beautiful, smart girl. She loves her job - I'm not sure what she does - but she's good at it. LOL She's also training for her first triathlon - I'm so proud of her too. I have great kids.
